Thinking about the meaning of home, I came upon this blog
I wrote about home, which expressed my thoughts pretty
perfectly. In recent years Paris has become a place
we'd love to live -- just from visiting. But
that is not practical emotionally or financially.

"I am rooted in Toronto, Canada, but if
I visit another city or town, even in another
country, I can start to feel at home in
a week. That's happened in
France, England, Sweden, Italy, and
the U.S.
But the place in my painting tonight
near Pugwash, Nova Scotia, in Canada's
Maritimes is in a different league. I've
been visiting for 20+ years, counting
the views on the way out, like clues in a game
called "getting closer," and on the way back
to Toronto, in a profound series of goodbyes.
This view is poignant both coming and
going. It is iconic of our Nova Scotia home."
Have a feeling-at-home-anywhere day.
